Default fixed, SA, or DA? suspension

What do I need as far as suspension? Fixed, Single adjustable, or Double adjustable?



Car will see the track maybe a handful of time a year, daily driver. Will also being going with a procharger later in 07. Want to buy once and not spend money for parts I don't need.

Just trying to do my homework now and not order the wrong parts the first time around!

koni SA's are good as far as shocks, for LCA's if you are going to get those i would say fixed unless you plan on running a larger tire in which case you would get adjustable (your preference as far as SA or DA go, DA are on car adj.), i would reccomend both a doulbe adjustable panhard rod and an adjustable torque arm though. if you want you could go with subframe connectors but those are personal preference. new sway bars would be a good idea however with upgraded end links

Yea I'm going with Konis for sure. Just wanted to know what the benefits are with going to double adjustable parts.

There's a big price difference with fixed, SA and DA. Just want to get it right the first time! Like I stated above.

yep, the primary difference with SA to DA on the LCA's and PHR is that the DA are adjustable on the car
